Question: Assuming PKI is "solved" (whatever that means) isn't mTLS in contrast to sth like a VPN the preferred solution nowadays? Or both? I'm asking because Wireguard itself looks a lot like mTLS to me and I'm curious how HN people currently see that context.

WireGuard is a better, safer protocol than mTLS. If you can use WireGuard, that's what you should use (often you can't, because you don't want IP addressing between your components).

mTLS is not a VPN.
